TABLE MANNERS

When I was threeWe got on a tanker and took to seaAcross the ocean blue to the USAReady to learn a new and easier way.It wasn't long before I learned to table that thoughtWhat is the matter with these people,How many tables have they got?

Dining, kitchen, end, side, conference, chess, card,Are coffee tables only for coffee?So, if I want tea, am I not able?Poker, pool and ping pong tablesThat's only the P'sThere are more gaming tables!At school I learned to keep my handsFolded on the table topDuring earthquake drills, under the table I hop.Water tables, mountain tables, Knights of the Round TableWe studied and exploredI'm not done yet, there is much, much more!There were multiplication tables, the table of contentsAnd the Twelve Tables of Roman Law,Amortization tables, drafting tables, and even a table for a saw.I learned that Congress may table a motionAnd there are chemicaltables to create a potion.To relieve stress, have fun and unwindListen to turntable music of any kind.Now here comes the brideWith the groom at my sideFirst off to the buffet tableThen on to the banquet table we goThey turned the table on us When the magician stole the show.On to a cruise ; we were so delightedWhen to the Captain's Table we were invited.When we measure, we use a tablespoon To ensure we're preciseAnd when we set the tableA tablecloth makes it oh so nice.A computer allows us to create tablesActors practice at table readsHobbyists often use crafting tablesTo organize their many beads.You get my point, I don't want to boreBut this is fun, so indulge me one more:A table for one, a table for twoA table to infinityO.K., your table is readyNow here's the nitty-gritty...This English language is confusing as hellYou must live here a long time to understand it well.
